Here’s the tiny train mounted GoPro we built to film a five day time-lapse of the construction of our Hands project. As a version one it worked fine, but it did need babysitting at times. Onwards to version two…

They were creating a series of games to be played throughout the Palace, inspired by an event hosted by King William III in 1699, when he invited “persons of the best quality” into the Palace for a month long series of parties and games. Among these games was the opportunity for one lucky individual to be crowned King or Queen for the day, an opportunity that Hide&Seek wanted to recreate. A couple of workshops later and the idea of creating a massive talking throne was developed (oh how our collective ten-year-old selves rejoiced). Visitors would be able to create their own title from a mix of serious and not-so-serious adjectives, titles and places. They’d then take their seat on the throne which, with all due pomp and ceremony, would present them to the crowd. A theatrical moment, something straight out of a fairy tale.
